~nd
~~, the p~ople of the to~ of Scottsvilte were very ~ious
to.h~ve said improvements-made ~d urged ~he.Board of 'Supervisors of Albe~rle
and the local representatives in the General Assembly to.bring ~beut.the issuance
of s~id bonds and the permanent improvement of the ro~ds in Scottsvilte District,
The People-~ of the town of Scottsville f~ther took ~ very active pmr~ in said
bond electien~and voted overwhelmingly in f~ver ef the issuance of the said
~t the election held i%venber 8th l~B1. There were considerable opposition
Scottsvitle District to the issuance of s~id 'h-o~-ds ~nd it is believed ~t the vote
of the people of the to~ of Scottsvilte c~rried the election in ~'~vor of the bonds,
and
~~, s~id bonds were in ~e ,,c~u~e~"i's.S~d ~nd sold. ~d the
proceeds therefrom used for the p~pose of building permmnented ro~ds in said
Scottsville District, including ~bout t~ee hundred lineal y~ds withiE, the corporate
limits of the town.cf 8cott~ville, ~d
~~S, the oomrd of Supervisors of ~lbem~rle County, sheen by
their spendinE m p~rt of the proceeds of the said bonds withim the corpprmte limits
of the to~ of Scottsvilte, ~nd the voter-s of the town of Scottsville ~s sho~ by
thei~ interest i~ bringi~ about the iss. umnce of s~id bonds ~d their ~ctive
participation im said bond election., understood that mll the property within the

t~xes to p~y the interest ~d sinki~ fund on.. s~d bonds, ~d
~~S, in pursuance of s~d ~cts the Bomrd of Supervisors of

t~ within t~ to~ ef Scottsvitle for the ~ymeht of the inter-est and sinking

~~~, some of the t~x p~yers in the town of Scottsville ~ve
filed proceedings in the Circuit Go~t of ~lbem~le County in which they clmi~
t~t they were not liable for the p~ent of s~id tax ~nd
~~S, the f~cts set forth ~bove, ~s well as the gre~t benefits
which h~ve ~ccrued to the t~ of Scottsville By re~son of such improvements shew
that it is only just and equitable that the tax p~ers of ~he to~ of socttsville
should p~y their proportionate p~rt of the interest ~d sinking fund om said bonds,
and
~AS, ~lthough smid ~cts seem clearly to ~uthorize maid t~, it
